Claire and Tyler hanging out on the beach. I dug a hole in the sand and made a bumbo chair for her. 
A big raft that the kids would ride the waves on. Siena wouldn't try a boogie board but she loved this.
Ben however was terrified of it.
Claire and I were at the beach. She lived in the sling and is the only way she would sleep while we were on the beach. I got a funky tan line on my neck from it.
BFF. Calvin and Ben. These little boys were trouble. They would dig in the sand for hours and throw sand at each other all day.
Dave trying to convince Siena a boogie board is fun.
Ben playing in the debris that washed up on the shore during the hurricane.
cute Ben and Calvin playing in their sand pit.
building the pool.
having quiet time watching movies. Calvin. Ben. Seth. Siena. Miriam. Darby.
exhausted at the beach.
Ben kept asking to bury himself in sand.
testing the water.
We had so much fun. The kids love the beach so much and it makes me so happy. We spent the majority of the mornings on the beach and then back to the pool in the afternoon. The kids loved playing alligator alligator in the pool and jumping in. When we were at our friends' beach house Siena got the courage to go crab hunting. She said she didn't want to do it again because a crab ran over her foot last year. I was fine with that but when we went to our friends beach house they have head lamps that they go hunting with and that made all the difference for her. They had so much fun. I sat on the balcony and nursed Claire while I watched flashlights dance around on the beach and listened to little kids scream. It was so funny.
Hurricane Irene didn't totally destroy our vacation. We had a beach house from Friday to Friday in the outer banks. Hurricane hit the outer banks Friday and Saturday so we weren't able to go there until Monday. We were there as soon as they lifted the evacuation order. Since we only had our beach house till Friday we found another friend to stay with Friday night and went home Saturday. We stayed with Jan and her family. They have a beach house right on the beach and it was beautiful and they had tons of fun toys to play with. It was really nice to extend our stay. The weather seemed to get better and better as the week went on.
